Omotayo, who defeated the captain of Lagos State table tennis team to EKO 2012 Games, Ayo Omotara, by 11- 5, 4- 11,13- 11, 8 - 11,13 - 11, 11 - 6, was in a brilliant form as he technically outplayed Adeyinka Ahmed who had been tipped to play in the final following his recent performance in organised competitions.
The first -four set was shared between the players as Omotayo picked the remaining two set in the best of seven games to end the match, 11- 5, 4- 11,13- 11, 8 - 11,13 - 11, 11 - 6.
The second semi final clash between Mojeed Olayiwola and Shobayo Bolaji, was an easy game for Olayiwola, who is the tournament's defending champion in the Men's Singles event as he outstroked Shobayo who sent packing Adeniyi Kazeem, 11- 9, 11- 8, 11- 8.
World Junior Table Tennis Championship bound player, Ayo Udoh, was too over confident and excited after been tipped as the favourite to win the star prize of a brand new car in the Women's Singles event as she failed to live up to expectations against Taiwo Williams of Nigerian Army.
TaiwoWilliams, who was afaraid of playing against Udoh, took advantage of her situation and forced her not to play her usual tactical game as she overwhelmed her by four straight set of 11- 7, 11- 3, 12 - 10, 11 - 6, in the best of seven games.
Tolu Durosimi Etti, who will challenge Taiwo Williams in the Women's Singles final, confidently defeated Funke Hassan, who was out of form and her poor attitude to the game culminated into her defeat of 11-6, 111 -4, 11- 9, 6 - 11, 12 - 10.
The question now is who will drive home the brand new cars for the eventual winners of the Men's and Women's Singles events.Will it be Olayiwola, Omotayo, Durosimi Etti or Taiwo Williams as the final holds today.
